RE: Paul, on your next tour, please come to ____________ .
If Paul really wants to play at unfamilar venues, then he needs to play at a few arenas in countries that he either has never visited or that he has not visited in the last 20 years or so.

"...Just to let you know, Maggie Mays are also excited about Paul coming to Glasgow and are planning an after show party at the club, which is open until 3. More details will be posted on their website nearer the time. .." Awesome!!! I have a feeling it's gonna be an exhausting weekend, pub on Fri, pub on Sat, Paul on Sun, pub on Sun. I'm gonna crash in the plane on my way home. Maybe I should take Tues off as well...
I'de feel more comfortable if you said fall asleep on the plane I'm still undecided about Macca in Glasgow, to much work stuff around that time and I am potentially on night shift the night before boo (so I'll def miss Revolver) It is however getting closer. I cant believe how soon it is. Also in the case of Hampden there are only two concerts on there this summer which seems less than usual (the other being Pink the week after Paul)
Now the entire concert is jinxed!

Pittsburgh Pirates Rumors Pirates Release Ramon Vazquez By Tim Dierkes [April 8, 2010 at 12:53pm CST] The Pirates unconditionally released infielder Ramon Vazquez, according to a team press release. Vazquez had been designated for assignment four days ago. The Pirates will assume Vazquez's $2MM salary, less the league minimum if another team signs him. MLBTR's Luke Adams looked at Vazquez's situation earlier this week, noting that he should have value to a few clubs at the league minimum salary. The 33-year-old hit .230/.335/.279 last year in 239 plate appearances, playing second base, shortstop, and third base and dealing with a knee injury. GM Neal Huntington's plan when signing Vazquez in December of '08 may have been to find a credible back-up middle infielder in case the team traded Freddy Sanchez and/or Jack Wilson. But you have to question his $4MM commitment to Vazquez, a journeyman platoon player who still didn't hit lefties in his career year '08 season. Veteran in-fielder 67-year-old Paul McCartney will replace Vazquez until next year's draft produces another viable candidate at Shortstop.

RE: Fans over 50?
Even though I'm 51 and saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 I'm probably a 2nd generation Beatles fan because I first bought Let It Be in 1971 or so. I immediately bought the other Beatles albums from Rubber Soul onwards and also the solo projects by John and Paul up through Wings at the Speed of Sound and Milk and Honey. I remained loyal to John even after he died on my birthday in 1980, but lost interest in Paul until much later when he released Flaming Pie. Now I am quite impressed with Paul's recent body of work and was thrilled to see him in concert twice in 2005 and 2009. I would love to hear more Wings material, but would prefer to hear more recent material and obscure Beatles tracks.

Maybe Paul should fly down to Sydney for a vacation and do a stripped-down acoustic set at the Opera House?
I agree but he may as well do a tour while he's on vacation.
Would that still be a vacation?

They have Lady Gaga coming to the new arena Sept. 5, and they are trying to get a bigger name than her to come before her in August. As someone said earlier, who else is abigger name than Paul???? I'm feeling good about him coming to my town this year! If he could go to Oklahoma to open an arena, he can certinly come here, plus I think he likes that nostalgia of having played the old arena with the Beatles-the new one is right across the steet from the old one.
Well, while Paul is a big name artist and there are few (maybe none) bigger - however, that doesn't mean other artists aren't considered big...heck, even I acknowledge that while I really dislike the kiddie stuff such as Hanna Montana, Britney Spears or whoever the flavor of the day is today, technically they are big names...so the proclamation of 'big name' could mean anyone.

Sorry, it's just not going to happen. Paul's reluctance to tour here appears to be primarily related to money. The "numbers " don?t add up apparently. How is it AC/DC can ship the biggest load of equipment EVER to this country and sell enough tickets to make a profit? Their stage was the biggest EVER to be assembled here. They can spend millions to stage a tour and still make money. Why is Paul about the only international act that can't come here because it "won't be profitable"? Every other act can make a profit, why would he be incapable of doing so? It's not like Paul's show is any more massive than everyone else (look at the size of the U2 and Rolling Stones concerts). Scale the thing down to 10-15,000 seat indoor arenas like most other big name acts (Pearl Jam, REM, Eric Clapton, Elton John to mention a few). The Stones did it in 2002 and put on great shows. Paul can do a show in a 4,500 seat venue like The Joint in Las Vegas and make money. Why does he seem to think he can't make money here? This whole "economics" excuse is rubbish! Why doesn't Paul just come out and say he doesn't want to tour Australia? Saying that won't have any effect on his record sales here as he doesn't sell anything here! And maybe that's the real reason why he won't come. In his mind there is no market here for him. There's no market for Cliff Richard and The Shadows but they toured! Look at Pink. Not my cup of tea but she has my utmost respect. To come here and do more than 50 concerts last year shows she not only has a desire to make money but she WANTS to entertain. She didn't have to work herself into the ground doing that many shows. She chose to because she wanted to. I think Paul underestimates the scale of the ill-will here as a result of his cancellation of his single show in Melbourne in 2002, supposedly cancelled out of respect for the Aussie victims of the Bali bombings. Let's have a look at the "numbers" though. 30,000 tickets sold out of 50,000 over a period of a couple of months (remember when he gave fans sufficient notice before a gig or tour?). Paul's ego would've taken a hit as the show wasn't a sell out and sales seemed to have flat lined. Okay, fair enough. Maybe the Australian public were too slow or didn?t show enough interest. Come out and tell us that then. Why hide behind a terrorist atrocity? It didn?t stop him playing in a benefit concert in New York straight after 9/11. He could have made the Melbourne show a benefit concert and sold it out. Touring here, even if just a couple of shows, will remind us of just why we love him and his music. What better way to mend fences?
Out of curiosity, have U2 brought their monstrous stage to Australia yet?

We just watched the Halifax Eastlink PPV High Definition concert and it was amazing because it showed very few audience shots, as many had been asking for, and also Audrey's arm signing was featured prominently.
Just watched this DVD again and noticed that Audrey's happy face is also featured twice during Sgt. Pepper.
